Are Homebuyers Starting to Hit the ‘Pause’ Button?

Real Estate

Again, three of the four most reliable measures of buyer activity are reporting that demand is softening. We had a strong buyers’ market directly after the housing crash which was immediately followed by a strong sellers’ market over the last six years.
